    True? 

    Six Facts of Life

    1. Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so when they grow up they will know the value of things, not the price.
    2. Best wise words: "Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food."
    3. The one who loves you will never leave you because, even if there are 100 reasons to give up, he or she will find one reason to hold on.
    4. There is a big difference between a human being and being human. Only a few folks really understand that.
    5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, you have to manage!
    6. If you just want to walk fast, walk alone; but, if you want to walk far, walk together!

    May the graces of Easter help us to close the distance between God’s vision for a world of love, unity, reconciliation, justice and peace and the way we live our daily lives. Let us rejoice that by the grace of God, in so many ways, we make a difference to God, not perfectly, but with love and fidelity. Indeed, this is what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.

    May your lives continue to partner with God and bless the world.
